Jasper County School District needs investigation by outside agency

I am a woman of color, former school board member and in great support of Rep. Bill Herbkersman calling for SLED and the State Department of Education investigation of problems in the Jasper County School District.

In January of 2012, two board members and I, had an appointment with Dr. Zais, we carried information which we believed needed to be investigated. No response. We went to local, state and out-of-state newspapers; additionally we contacted every South Carolina state agency, again no response.

Please, Rep. Herbkersman, put the ball on her side of the court and let the Department of Justice come in and look at the school’s finances and its treatment of the staff; they cannot withstand the scrutiny.

Our children are not being educated, and administrators are being rewarded for their miseducation.
